Blejay Gboweay, Champlin Park (MN)/Twin Cities Aces (2022)
Gboweay is a prospect that is extremely raw but showed the potential he has last Sunday for Twin Cities Aces. Film evaluation: Limited WR film but shows flashes off his ability to create plays and turn a small gain into a decent gain for a Champlin Park Rebels program that just produces kids at the next level.
I’Marion Stewart, ATH, Naperville (IL)/Midwest Boom (2024)
Stewart is a star in the making coming out of Naperville, mark my words. His ability to make tacklers miss in the open field and his ability to flip the field a big weapon. First look: Reminds me of Alexandria (MN) Jack Behning Jack Behning 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR Lester Prairie | 2022 State MN , only except Stewart won’t be slept on nearly as long coming out of Illinois, just a kid that can make play after play when you get him the football.
Aaron Elliott Aaron Elliott 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Hutchinson | 2022 State MN , TE/LB, Hutchinson (MN) (2022)
Elliot wasn’t one I got to watch much on Sunday so consider this a first look. Film evaluation: At LB, Elliott can lay the wood out of nowhere if you are not looking! Solid size at 6’3 215 pounds, and a firm blocking tight end that can make a fair share of plays with the football too. Like him at linebacker at the next level as one that can gobble up the backfield.
Jack Pospisil Jack Pospisil 5'9" | WR Pomona | 2021 State CO , WR, Ponoma (CO)/Team Full Gorilla (2021)
Pospisil caught a ton of balls for Team Full Gorilla in Maple Grove. Central Missouri commit. First look film evaluation: Big time speed off the snap, absolute flyer. Very effective in the return game with over 1400 all-purpose yards last season for Ponoma HS in Arveda, CO. Gives off Danny Woodhead vibes; undersized, but uses his legs to make tons of plays and should be a solid Division II player.
Malik Elzy Malik Elzy 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Simeon | 2023 State IL , WR, Simeon (IL)/Midwest Boom (2023)
If you are looking for a playmaker downfield Elzy may be your guy! Already holds FBS offers as just an incoming sophomore. Film evaluation: Get him the ball downfield and you can guarantee he will make a play on the ball. Runs very consistent routes over the middle and on streak plays. High-level college prospect with multiple power 5 offers.
Isreal Moses, WR, Minneapolis DeLaSalle (MN)/Twin Cities Aces (2024)
Moses was another young prospect that stood out for Aces last Sunday. No film available yet via Hudl, but hopefully a prospect to watch for in the near future!
Nolan Prokosch Nolan Prokosch 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Hutchinson | 2022 State MN , RB, Hutchinson (MN) (2022)
We got to know Prokosch from a recruiting report earlier this year. A prospect that came off an injury in his sophomore campaign, Prokosch has some bounce to him on film that should be someone to keep an eye on in 2021 or possibly 2021, depending on what we learn this week from the MSHSL.
Brandon Hills Brandon Hills 5'9" | 150 lbs | WR Vista Ridge | 2023 State CO , WR, Vista Ridge (CO)/Team Full Gorilla (2023)
When I heard the name Tyreek Hill get dropped around Bebe Hills, I know I had to watch this kid’s film immediately. You can use Hills in a multitude of packages based on his versatility level on all fronts. It may a little early to call him similar to the All-Pro from the Kansas City Chiefs, but this 2023 prospect is well on his way to being a highly touted prospect at the next level with Division I programs already showing interest.
Kaleb Miller Kaleb Miller 5'8" | 170 lbs | ATH Nazareth | 2023 State IL , ATH, Nazareth Academy (IL)/Midwest Boom (2023)
Miller could have more than likely been put in the DB category but we placed in the ATH category based on his Sunday performance. A playmaking DB, that just asks the quarterback to throw at him. Blazing type speed that could be taken back for a pick-six if you don’t keep your eye on him when he picks the ball off. A very gritty performer that with some more measurables, could be an excellent prospect coming out of Illinois’s 2023 class.
Jordan Shaw Jordan Shaw 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB Irondale | 2022 State MN , ATH, Irondale (MN)/Twin Cities Aces (2022)
I am really glad we added Jordan Shaw Jordan Shaw 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB Irondale | 2022 State MN to our 2022 class in our most recent update. Shaw is a tough-nosed prospect that has one cut speed to make a big play. Great measurables at 5’11 200 pounds. Shaw fits into our ATH category but I could see as a running back at the college level or even a speedy fullback that can throw some nice blocks!
Kyan Berry, ATH, Naperville (IL)/Midwest Boom (2024)
It took exactly 10 seconds on film to learn that Berry is a hit stick defensive back! An aggressive DB prospect that shows no fear of putting a play on the ball. A prospect that is a total mismatch and one that even as a scout, cannot tell what this kid will play at the next level because he is so solid in the secondary and as a wide receiver. Lots of time to grow into some taller measurables, as Berry checks in at 5’7 as an incoming freshman.
Julius Ellens, Glenbard West (IL)/Midwest Boom (2024)
Ellens went up against mostly 18-year-olds as a 14-year-old and really looked impressive. You are going to find many films via Hudl but his Twitter is loaded with crazy cuts that should catch a college coach’s eye very early just like some of these other prospects from Midwest Boom. Ellen elusiveness at wide receiver played a key role in Boom’s success in Minnesota.
We got another one! Actual two.

Logan Lester, WR, Kenwood Academy (IL)/Midwest Boom (2023)
Lester might be one of the more under the radar prospects in the 2023 class from last weekend. I’ll attach a clip-on how much focus Lester has with his hands and although it’s off the field, Lester was another impact player in Boom’s 15U team coming to Minnesota and beating their incoming seniors, at 18U.
Kenwood’s 2023 WR Logan Lester @Loganlester_8 is the real deal! I love his work ethic and drive! #HorsePower #BrickByBrick #LateGrind pic.twitter.com/EwTxoLpuXU
